The research reported in this paper sought to develop a systematic approach that can be used to select or formulate methodologies for the study of irrigation system performance. The systematic approach, called the reference methodology, was developed by analyzing case studies of irrigation sector reviews, project papers and diagnostic analysis workshops conducted in Kenya, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. These studies of irrigation systems in developing countries were conducted through USAID's Water Management Synthesis Project. The reference methodology is based on the management concept that performance evaluation must begin with clear understanding of the system goals and objectives. Analyses of the case studies show that a primary goal of irrigation schemes should be to improve farmer welfare through increased agricultural production. The goal of improving farmer welfare can be achieved if schemes are managed according to a specific set of objectives. The research identified key management objectives to be water control, agricultural productivity, resources conservation and return on investment. These management objectives must be achieved within the context of effective organizational coordination and farmer participation.

The impact of climate change (CC) on water resources is likely to affect agricultural systems and food security. This is especially true for Nepal, a least developed country, where a high percentage of the population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihoods. It is thus crucial for Nepal’s leaders and resource managers to draft and begin implementing national adaptation plans. This working paper aims to create a more comprehensive understanding of how the impacts of CC will be realized at different scales in Nepal, from household livelihoods to national food security, and the many institutions governing the ultimate adaptation process.
